Very well done, you did an excellent job, from my experience I know that to make men jacket takes a lot of time, custom made jacket is expensive, don’t know why stores give them so cheap. It looks very well done .
Congratulation on your graduation.

Thank you very much for yourkind words!!!
It was a great feeling to wear this suit, everything was selfmade, also shirt and tie. Waistcoat and pants are made of a 30 years old tweed I found in my mums closet, It was quiet difficult to find the matching fabric for the jacket. I wear it with proud! :-)

thank you for your kind words! When you practice enough, handmade buttonholes are much nicer than those of a machine. I put a blue thread under the stiches to make it more vivid, unfortunatly you can’t see it on the photo.
succes with your pattern making business!
